Forget socks and gift vouchers. Here is why digital assets are the ultimate present, and the easiest, safest ways to send them—especially using Binance.
Introduction
The holidays, birthdays, or special milestones are approaching, and you are stuck in the same old dilemma: What do you give the person who has everything?
In an increasingly digital world, physical gifts often end up collecting dust in a closet. Why not give something that has the potential to grow, educates the recipient on the future of finance, and can be sent instantly anywhere in the world?
Gifting cryptocurrency is more than just sending money; it’s handing someone an entry ticket to the digital economy. Whether it’s a fraction of Bitcoin (BTC), some Ethereum (ETH), or a stablecoin like USDT, crypto is the modern-day savings bond.
If you are a beginner looking to share the crypto love, this guide will walk you through the process safely and easily.
Why Gift Crypto Instead of Cash?
Before we get to the "how," let’s look at the "why." Sending crypto carries more weight than a standard bank transfer or a plastic gift card.
Potential for Growth: Unlike a fiat currency gift voucher that loses value to inflation, assets like Bitcoin have historically appreciated over time. You aren't just giving $50; you are giving an investment.
The Gift of Education: Receiving crypto forces the recipient to learn the basics—what a wallet is, how blockchains work, and the importance of security. It’s a financial literacy lesson wrapped in a gift.
Borderless and Instant: Do you have family on the other side of the world? Forget expensive remittances like Western Union. Crypto arrives in minutes with minimal fees.
The Golden Rule Before You Start
Know your recipient: Crypto is amazing, but it requires some technical responsibility. If you send Bitcoin directly to a blockchain address belonging to your grandmother who barely knows how to use email, those funds might be lost forever if she loses her private keys.
For beginners, the goal is onboarding them safely, not overwhelming them.
The Easiest Method: Binance Gift Cards 💳
While you are reading this on Binance Square, you already have access to the best tool for gifting crypto to beginners: The Binance Gift Card.
This is superior to direct blockchain transfers for beginners for several reasons:
Zero Fees: It usually costs nothing to create or redeem a Binance Gift Card.
No Wallet Needed (Yet): You can send the gift card via email or text. The recipient doesn't need a crypto wallet before receiving the gift. They can set up their Binance account when they redeem it.
Personalization: You can choose from hundreds of thematic designs (Birthdays, Christmas, HODL memes) and add a personalized message.
Safety Net: If you send it to the wrong email, or the recipient doesn't claim it, you can cancel the gift card and get your funds back (as long as it hasn't been redeemed).
How to Send a Binance Gift Card in 3 Steps:
1. Open the Binance App: On the homepage, tap your profile icon, go to "Gift & Campaign," and select Crypto Gift Card.
2. Create Card: Choose the cryptocurrency you want to send (e.g., BTC, BNB, USDT) and the amount. Pick a cool design template.
3. Send: Enter the recipient’s email address. They will receive a code to redeem the crypto directly into their funding wallet.
Alternative Method: Direct Wallet Transfer (Intermediate)
If your friend or family member already owns cryptocurrency and has a wallet (like Trust Wallet or MetaMask), you can send funds directly.
⚠️ The Risks:
Network Fees: You will have to pay gas fees (which can be high on Ethereum).
Address Errors: If you type one character wrong in the receiving address, the money is gone forever. There is no "undo" button on the blockchain.
Wrong Network: Sending USDT via the BSC network to an ERC20 address can result in loss of funds.
Recommendation: Only use direct transfer if you and the recipient are already comfortable with crypto basics. For true beginners, stick to Binance Gift Cards.
A Quick Note on Taxes 📝
While giving gifts is fun, remember that cryptocurrency is often treated as property for tax purposes in many countries.
Generally, giving a gift up to a certain amount isn't taxable for you, but if the recipient sells that crypto later for a profit, they may owe capital gains tax. Disclaimer: This is not financial advice. Always check the local regulations in your country.
Final Thoughts
Gifting cryptocurrency is a unique way to bring friends and family into the ecosystem. It sparks curiosity and offers financial inclusion.
By using user-friendly tools like Binance Gift Cards, you can ensure the experience is positive, secure, and exciting. Give the gift that keeps on hodling!

Strive, a Nasdaq-listed structured finance company that operates a bitcoin treasury, announced Tuesday that it is launching a $500 million at-the-market offering of its Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Preferred Stock (SATA).
Accordingto its prospectus, Strive has entered a sales agreement with Cantor Fitzgerald, Barclays and Clear Street to offer up to $500 million in shares of its SATA stock.
Utilizing the ATM structure, Strive and its agents gain the flexibility to sell shares directly to the market at prevailing prices over a period, instead of issuing them at a fixed price in one large transaction.
The dividend rate for SATA is set at 12.00% per annum, with the regular dividend period beginning on Nov. 10, 2025. Strive noted that it has the right to adjust the regular dividend rate in the future.
"The program builds on the success of the upsized SATA IPO offering and will provide the company with additional capital for general corporate purposes, including acquiring more Bitcoin," Strive wrote in a post on social media platform X.
On Nov. 10, Strive announced that it closed the initial public offering of the SATA stock at a price of $80 per share, after it upsized the IPO to 2 million shares from the initial target of 1.25 million. The stock went on to trade on the Nasdaq Global Market.

Strive, co-founded by entrepreneur and politician Vivek Ramaswamy, describes itself as the first publicly traded asset management Bitcoin treasury company. It holds a long-term goal of increasing BTC-per-share to eventually outperform bitcoin. According to the press release, Strive held 7,525 BTC as of Nov. 7.
SATA edged up 0.088% on Tuesday, closing markets at $91.15. Strive's Class A common stock ASST closed the day up 3.57% at $1.02, according to Google Finance data.

加密货币市场未能维持在商业周初所见的势头，在过去24小时内出现了轻微回调。
比特币（BTC）下滑至约$90,000，而热门的替代币如Hyperliquid（HYPE）则遭遇了更为显著的损失。
比特币有所回落
这项领先的数字资产在新一周开始时走上了正确的轨道，一度价格短暂突破$92,000。然而在接下来的几个小时里，空头重新掌控市场，BTC跌破了心理关口$90K。买家阻止了更大幅度的下跌，截至目前，该资产的交易价格约为$90,200（根据TradingView），日内跌幅为2%。

As the year winds down, prediction markets suggest there is only a slim chance that XRP will hit a record high by December 31.
According to data retrieved by Finbold on December 7, traders on Polymarket currently price the likelihood at just 3%.
Since the trade went live, those odds have plunged more than 60%, marking one of the sharpest declines from the elevated levels seen in September and October.

The market’s pricing, driven by Polymarket’s crypto-using participants who stake real funds on event outcomes, has trended sharply downward throughout the final quarter.
The data shows sentiment weakening from early September, sliding through November, and settling close to zero in December.
As of press time, traders had wagered more than $170,000 on the question, with resolution set for January 1, 2026.
Notably, sentiment surrounding a possible record high has deteriorated in recent sessions in line with the broader market tone. To this end, XRP has posted notable losses in recent weeks, reflecting the wider downturn and the threat of losing the $2 support.
XRP price analysis
However, the asset is showing short-term strength amid a sharp capital inflow. As of press time, XRP was trading at $2.10, up over 3% in the past 24 hours, although still down 4.6% on the week.

This renewed momentum follows an influx of roughly $6 billion into XRP within hours as the broader cryptocurrency market staged a recovery led by Bitcoin (BTC). The next target for XRP remains reclaiming the $2.15 level on its path toward $2.50.

Geleneksel olarak hırsızlar, fiziksel veya dijital para birimleri, mücevher ya da araba gibi genellikle somut malları hedef alırdı.
​Ancak söz konusu kripto para madenciliği olduğunda, işler biraz tuhaflaşıyor. Bloomberg'in haberine göre, yerel kolluk kuvvetleri Malezya'da, son beş yılda yaklaşık 1,1 milyar dolarlık elektrik çaldığı belirtilen 14.000 civarında yasa dışı Bitcoin madenciliği operasyonunun peşinde.
​Polisin Kullandığı Yöntemler
Polis, suçluları suçüstü yakalamak için dronlara ve hatta düzensiz güç kullanımını tespit edebilen el sensörlerine başvuruyor. Bu tuhaf kedi-fare oyunu, dijital token madenciliğinin — en azından elektrik masrafı başkasının cebinden çıktığında — ne kadar kazançlı olabileceğini gözler önüne seriyor.
​Yükselen Değer ve Riskler
Bitcoin bu yıl yükselişe geçerek Ekim ayında 126.000 doların üzerine çıkarak rekor kırdı. Para birimi o tarihten bu yana önemli ölçüde değer kaybetmiş olsa da, madencilik yapmak son birkaç yıldır binlerce kişinin haksız kazanç elde etmek uğruna şebekeden elektrik çalma riskini göze almasına değecek kadar kârlı olduğunu kanıtladı.
​Yasa dışı madencilik faaliyetleri, Malezya'nın devlete ait enerji şirketi Tenaga Nasional'ı bir milyar doların üzerinde zarara uğratmanın yanı sıra, ülke şebekesinde de büyük tahribata yol açabilir.
​"Bu tür faaliyetlere izin vermenin riski artık sadece hırsızlıkla ilgili değil," diyor yasa dışı Bitcoin madenciliğini engellemek için kurulan özel bir görev gücüne başkanlık eden Malezya Enerji Dönüşümü ve Su Dönüşümü Bakan Yardımcısı Akmal Nasir Bloomberg'e. "Aslında tesislerimizi bile bozabilirsiniz. Bu durum sistemimiz için bir tehdit haline geliyor."
​Küresel Etkiler
​İran: Geçen yıl yaşanan dönüşümlü elektrik kesintileri, yasa dışı Bitcoin madenciliğinin rolü üzerine hararetli tartışmalara yol açtı.
​Kuveyt: Elektrik kesintilerine neden olan "büyük" bir enerji krizinin ortasında, bu yılın başlarında kripto madenciliğine yönelik baskıları artırdı.
​ABD: Cambridge Üniversitesi'nin yakın tarihli bir raporuna göre, token'ı tümüyle benimseyen ABD, madencilik faaliyetlerinin yüzde 75'inden fazlasını oluşturuyor.
​Dünya genelinde Bitcoin madencilik faaliyetleri, her yıl koca bir ülkenin tükettiğinden daha fazla elektrik tüketerek devasa miktarda enerji harcıyor. Bu durum, Ethereum gibi diğer kripto para birimlerinin, elektrik tüketimini önemli ölçüde azaltan alternatif işlem doğrulama yöntemlerini hayata geçirmesine rağmen gerçekleşiyor.
​Sonuç
Bu akımı paraya çevirmek isteyen yasa dışı işletmeler Malezya'nın dört bir yanında türeyerek terk edilmiş alışveriş merkezlerini ve sanayi alanlarını kripto madenciliği sahalarına dönüştürüyor.
​Yasal işletmelerde madencilerin elektrik faturalarını ve vergilerini ödemeleri gerekiyor. Ancak pek çok kişi için, donanımlarını çalıntı elektrikle çalıştırmanın getirisi, Malezya'da yakalanma riskinden daha ağır basıyor.

传统上，小偷通常针对某种有形商品——无论是实体还是数字货币、珠宝或汽车。
但在挖掘加密货币的时候，情况变得有些奇怪。根据彭博社的报导，当地执法机构正在追捕约14,000个在马来西亚的非法比特币挖矿行为，他们表示这些行为在过去五年中偷窃了约$1.1亿的电力。
警方已经开始使用无人机，甚至手持传感器来捕捉不规则的电力使用，以便在他们行动时抓住他们，这是一场奇异的猫捉老鼠游戏，突显了挖掘数字代币的利润有多可观——至少如果电力是别人支付的话。
